Forever

An impossible love in the butcher's shop Pepijn Lievens

A humorous remake of an absolute classic A multicultural story in the city A young adult debut by a promising talent!

In a quiet street in a big city there’s two butcher shops, next to each other. So they’re neighbours. No, competitors. No, rivals.

They have been quarrelling for years. No, they have been hating each other. No, they have been loathing each other.

And then the daughter of Vandersmissen’s butcher's shop and the son of Idrissi’s butcher shop fall in love with each other. But it’s kept a secret, of course. Nobody can know. For the butchers’ knives have been sharpened. So when they start dating each other, the old quarrel is stirred up to a climax.

The love story of Rowad and Juliet is a modern adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. A story of life and death.
